Book excerpt: Multidisciplinary focus Surveying many disciplines, this anthology brings together an outstanding selection of scholarly articles that examine the profound impact of law on the lives of women in the United States. The themes addressed include the historical, political, and social contexts of legal issues that have affected women's struggles to obtain equal treatment under the law. The articles are drawn from journals in law, political science, history, women's studies, philosophy, and education and represent some of the most interesting writing on the subject. The law in theory andpractice Many of the articles bring race, social, and economic factors into their analyses, observing, for example, that black women, poor women, and single mothers are treated by the wielders of the power of the law differently than middle class white women. Other topics covered include the evolution of women's legal status, reproduction rights, sexuality and family issues, equal employment and educational opportunities, domestic violence, pornography and sexual exploitation, hate speech, and feminist legal thought. A valuable research and classroom aid, this series provides in-depth coverage of specific legal issues and takes into account the major legal changes and policies that have had an impact on the lives of American women.

Download or read book Gender Equality Programmes in Higher Education written by Sabine Grenz and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-11-10 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gender equality has been on the agenda of national policies of higher education within and outside the European Union (EU) for the last twenty years. In some European countries, this process was initiated early on and has brought about remarkable results, while in others progress has been slower. Different countries and institutions have focussed on different strategies for raising awareness about the discrimination of women and for increasing the number of women in aca- mia, particularly in leadership positions. Previous research on gender equality in higher education has produced many case studies about programmes at institutions of higher education in Europe and elsewhere. Different actors like the European Commission and - tional organisations have also furnished reports about national policies. Building on this material, it is now time to analyse under what conditions equality p- grammes are successful. For a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of and barriers to gender equality in higher education, we also need studies that focus on the development of gender equality policies in different countries, as well as on conditions of implementation, change of strategy, and the evaluation of - sults. Comparative studies would be another useful tool for understanding the development and success of gender equality programmes.

Download or read book Diversity and Inclusion in Higher Education written by Daryl G. Smith and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-16 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In addition to many other issues that touch higher education around the world, diversity and equity in higher education is fast becoming a major opportunity and challenge to institutions, countries and regions. The increasing centrality of diversity is fueled in part by changing demographics, immigration, social movements, calls for remedies to historic grievances, and the relationship between identity and access to power. This book will provide an opportunity to look at efforts at institutional change with respect to diversity in several countries where issues of diversity are moving beyond simply access for diverse populations to efforts at institutional transformation. Its purpose is to provide a comparative perspective with the hope that we will be able to see patterns across these contexts from which we might learn. Amongst other subjects it will address: The historic and contemporary context for diversity Established and emerging salient identities How diversity is framed at a national and institutional level The prevailing strategies and policies for engaging diversity, again at the national and institutional level The role of special purpose institutions This critical book is essential for higher education scholars and practitioners with backgrounds in higher education.

Download or read book Waarheen nou written by Ben Nolte and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-12-03 with total page 719 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Waarheen nou...???”, means “Where to now...???” This book is about: The road of truth and untruth, are eternally running alongside each other. Untruth or falsehood being ‘the truth + 1’ or ‘the truth - 1’. Almost always, the same. Often, unrecognizable from the real truth! The author was spoken to, from Above! He was taught by The Creator Himself and the set-apart Spirit. He was ordained to write this book, to guide the lost sons & daughters, back to the Fatherhouse. As tracker, shepherd and guide, he must prepare the way, like John the Baptist, for the people, to be ready as “spotless bride”, for the second coming of our Messiah. The people must be led back on the original track, to follow in their Master’s footsteps. As physically in Old Testament times, now spiritually. The general theme in the book is: “The second exodus out of Babylon.” Faith alone, is not enough! Without obedience, faith cannot suffice! If Abraham, the ‘Father of Faith’, just believed, would we still acknowledge him as ‘idol’? It is in fact because of his obedience, that we can honor him, as a true believer! Very important to sort out in your own life: “Surely you know that when you surrender yourselves as slaves to obey someone, you are in fact the slaves of the master you obey---either of sin, which results in death, or of obedience, which results in being put right with God.” (Rom.6:16) According to Mat.7:14 (KJV) the following: “Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there are that find it.” Good News Bible states it more describing: “But the gate to life is narrow and the way that leads to it is hard, and there are few people who find it.” Many people are ‘happy-go-lucky’ fellows or ‘devil-may-care’ guys, on the highway. They must be led back, before going totally astray! An escalator only has two directions; up or down. If you want to go UP, there is no place for a ‘highway’ or ‘my-way’; only “Thy way”! The author, also known as ‘errand boy’ or ‘messenger’, must share what he was shown. He must tell what he heard, because: “...faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of Elohim.” (Rom.10:17) He must tell, lead and encourage the people to find the whole truth and do the right deeds, and make a ‘u-turn’, to get on to the right track. See what Psalm 53:3&4 says: “Elohim looks down from heaven at people to see if there are any who are wise, any who worship Him. But they have all turned away; they are all equally bad. Not one of them does what is right, not a single one.” (GNB) Or according to KJV: “to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek Elohim. Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.” The road is not easy! It is a 4X4 adventure, through the desert, not an easy ‘highway-to-heaven’, as we know it! The people have been misled, either knowingly or unknowingly. They have been tricked to take the highway or sideway, the easy way. The full truth and right way, have been disguised, ignored, twisted and concealed on purpose. Many a time, through ‘intentional’, cunning, translation “mistakes”. In Scripture, in 2Corintians 11:12, we are warned: “Even Satan can disguise himself to look like an angel of light!” & “And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.” The deception is allowed by The Almighty, because of His people’s unfaithfulness and idolatry. (Isa.43:28 & 44:18, Eze.12:2 & Mat.13:14) He ‘blindfolded’ many, because of their rebellion against Him and His commandments. He will allow this temporary ‘blindness & deafness’, until we humble ourselves and turn back to Him, as Creator of heaven and earth, and acknowledge His Name, as set apart and above all names. According to 2Chron.7:14, He promised: “If My people, which are called by My Name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgiv
